Using Semantic Tags!
• In the beginning (insert dramatic music of your choice…) there was div !
!• <div> was a way to group related content together !!• Divs almost always had special classes/ids associated with
them !<div class = “header”>…</div>!<div class = “section”>…</div>!<div class = “footer”>…</div>!
!
<header>!
• A group of introductory or navigational aids: title, navigation links, etc. !
• Not to be confused with <head> or the different headings. !
<nav>!• A section of the page that links to other pages or to
parts within the page. !
• Often found in the <header> tag !
<footer>!• A section that contains info such as copyright
data, related documents, and links to social media!
!• Typically at the bottom of the page, but not
required. !
<figure>!
• More semantics than <img>. Can include: !• caption!• multiple multi-media resources!

Review!
• The age of <div> is ending !!• Semantic tags help guide users
to information in your page !
